Dottyback- Bicolor

$45.00

The Bicolor Dottyback, scientifically known as Pictichromis paccagnellae, is a popular and colorful marine fish species that is often kept in saltwater aquariums. These fish are known for their striking bicolor pattern, with a bright purple front half and a vibrant yellow or orange posterior half. Here are some care guidelines for Bicolor Dottybacks:

Tank Size:

  • A tank of at least 30 gallons is suitable for a single Bicolor Dottyback.

  • They can be somewhat territorial, so provide hiding spots and enough space to establish their territory.

Water Parameters:

  • Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 74-82°F (23-28°C).

  • Keep the salinity at around 1.020-1.025 specific gravity.

  • Maintain a stable pH level between 8.1 and 8.4.

Tank Setup:

  • Create a well-aerated environment with good water flow to mimic their natural reef habitat.

  • Provide live rock structures, caves, and crevices to serve as hiding spots and territorial boundaries.

Compatibility:

  • Bicolor Dottybacks can be territorial and may become aggressive toward other fish of a similar shape and size, especially in a smaller tank.

  • Carefully consider tankmates and choose species that are compatible with the Dottyback's territorial behavior.

Diet:

  • Bicolor Dottybacks are carnivorous and primarily feed on small invertebrates and zooplankton in the wild.

  • In captivity, they can be fed a diet of high-quality marine pellets, flakes, frozen foods, and live foods like brine shrimp, Mysis shrimp, and other meaty items.

Behavior:

  • Bicolor Dottybacks are active swimmers and may exhibit territorial behavior. They can be a bit feisty, especially when defending their territory.

Observation:

  • Keep a close eye on the health and behavior of your Bicolor Dottyback and look for signs of stress, illness, or abnormal behavior.

Bicolor Dottybacks are attractive and active fish that can make an interesting addition to a marine aquarium. Their vibrant coloration and unique behavior can be a highlight in your tank. Just be mindful of their territorial tendencies and choose compatible tankmates accordingly. As always, maintaining stable water conditions and providing a balanced diet are crucial for their health and well-being.
